Setting the Auto Rotate Function
Your camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that detects 
the orientation of an image shot with the camera held vertically and 
automatically rotates it to the correct viewing orientation in the display. You 
can set this function on/off.
 This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed 
straight up or down. Check that the arrow   is pointing in the right 
direction and if it is not, then set the Auto Rotate function to [Off].
 Even if the Auto Rotate function is set to [On], the orientation of 
images downloaded to a computer will depend upon the software 
used to download the images.
 When the camera is held vertically to shoot, the Intelligent 
Orientation sensor judges the upper end to be “up” and the lower 
end to be “down.” It then regulates the optimal white balance, 
exposure and focus for vertical photography. This function operates 
regardless of the On/Off status of the Auto Rotate function.
1In the   (Set up) menu, select 
[Auto Rotate].
See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 49).
2Use the   or   button to select [On] 
and press the MENU button.
 The display will return to the shooting 
screen.
 When the Auto Rotate function is set to 
[On] and the LCD monitor is set to the 
detailed display mode, the   (normal), 
 (right end is down) or   (left end is 
down) will appear in the upper right of the 
display.

Resetting the File Number
The images you shoot are automatically assigned file numbers. You can 
select how the file number is assigned.    
Setting the File No. Reset to [Off] is useful for avoiding file name 
duplication when images are downloaded to a computer.
OnThe file number is reset to the start (100-0001) each time a new SD 
card is inserted. New images recorded on SD cards with existing files 
are assigned the next available number.
OffThe file number of the last image to be shot is memorized so that 
images recorded to a new SD card start from the next number.
1In the   (Set up) menu, select 
[File No. Reset].
See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 49).
2Use the   or   button to select 
[On] or [Off] and press the MENU 
button.
The display will return to the shooting 
screen.

About File Numbers and Folder Numbers
Images are assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9900, and folders are 
assigned folder numbers from 100 to 998 (Folder numbers cannot 
contain 99 in the last two digits).
Folder File Capacity
Each folder usually contains up to 100 images.
However, since images shot in continuous shooting and Stitch Assist 
mode are always saved into the same folder, a folder may contain 
more than 100 images. The number of images may also exceed 100 if 
a folder contains images copied from a computer or images shot with 
other cameras. Please note, however, that the images in folders 
containing 2001 or more images cannot be played back in this 
camera.
Folder numbers cannot contain 99 in the last two digits
